Couple of Mission Downloader bugs


Eilhan

Recommended Posts

I just found that downloading a couple of FMs resulted in getting the wrong missions.

 

The mission downloader said that I was missing Rightful Property and The Builder's Blocks, so I went ahead and downloaded them in-game. However, the downloaded rightful.pk4 file actually contained v2.0 of In Remembrance of him, and the downloaded builders_blocks.pk4 contained v2.1 of Crystal Grave, resulting in the mission list containing two each of IROH and CG. Looks like the servers are a bit confused about a couple of files there :)

Curious, I haven't reached the other yet, but got Builder's Blocks a few days ago fine. But errors were mentioned with no indication of where/which files were affected. (I didn't download all missions at once, but in batches.)

Curious. I just tried to reproduce the problem, and it still remains.

 

Here's what I did:

 

1) Renamed "fms" folder to "x". No missions available when I run the game after that.

2) Deleted "tdm_mirrors.txt" and backups.

3) Ran "tdm_update.exe", which downloaded updated mirrors and 2 missions (Tears and Training). All other files were fine.

4) Started game, and downloaded "Rightful Property" and "The Builder's Blocks" from within the game.

 

Still ended up with "In Remembrance of him" and "Crystal Grave v2.1" in the in-game mission list.

Yes, it seems like those two mission-entries will now give you some other missions instead.

One can see the mistakes it in the updated output of the PHP script... and on the mission pages as well.

In case it helps to restore the download-links for those two missions, this is what was availlble about 10 days ago:

 

BuildersBlocks

<mission id="68" title="The Builder's Blocks" releaseDate="2013-03-18" size="2.85" version="1" internalName="builders_blocks" type="single" author="Jesps">

<downloadLocation language="English" url="http://darkmod.taaaki.za.net/fms/builders_blocks.pk4"/>

<downloadLocation language="English" url="http://www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/builders_blocks.pk4"/>

<downloadLocation language="English" url="http://www.fidcal.com/darkuser/missions/builders_blocks.pk4"/>

</mission>

 

Rightful Property

<mission id="59" title="Rightful Property" releaseDate="2012-04-13" size="22.5" version="1" internalName="rightful" type="single" author="jysk">

<downloadLocation language="English" url="http://www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/rightful.pk4"/>

</mission>

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
